Jacksonville falls to Kennesaw State

That run of futility for the Owls (3-21, 2-10 Atlantic Sun Conference) began with a 99-92 loss Jan. 10 to Jacksonville (12-14, 7-6), the Dolphins’ 12th consecutive win in the series.

Cummings’ 3-pointer with 4:26 remaining broke a 59-all tie, and his layup, followed by an Andrew Osemhen jumper, gave the Owls a 66-59 lead with 3:21 left.

Jacksonville got within three, but two free throws each by Delbert Love and Aaron Anderson restored a seven-point margin.

Keith McDougald scored 15 points, and Dylan Fritsch had 14 for JU.

Anderson had 12 points and 13 rebounds for Kennesaw State, and Cummings’ seven field goals gave him 692 for his career, one more than Owls record-holder Herman Smith had from 1986-90, when they were an NAIA team.
